Swansea City v Burnley: play-off push meets survival fight | OneFootball

Swansea City host Burnley in the Championship on Saturday, 12 September 2026 in Swansea, with the hosts protecting a top six start and the visitors chasing a first league win to kick-start their survival bid.

Swansea City are third with 11 points. Burnley sit 23rd on three. The Clarets have edged recent meetings, winning 2-0 in Swansea in March 2025 and 1-0 at home in November 2024.

Swansea City have three wins, two draws and one defeat, with four clean sheets, and have yet to concede at home. The Clarets are winless in six, have scored seven and conceded 13, and are still without a clean sheet.

Swansea City list Cameron Burgess and Ross Stewart as injured. The Clarets report absences for Ashley Barnes, Joshua Cullen, Louis Jodan Beyer, Bashir Humphreys, Hannibal Mejbri, Jaydon Banel, Enock Agyei and Dastan Satpaev.

Swansea City have averaged 59% possession with 82.26% pass accuracy, leaning on control and a tight defence. Eom Ji-sung and Adam Idah have two league goals each, while the Clarets may look to Zeki Amdouni for creativity after his early season assist.

A win would move Swansea City to 14 points and could strengthen their promotion play-off push. Victory for the Clarets would take them to six points and could reduce the gap to the sides above the relegation places.
